Abstract

Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are common, and the skin is by far the most frequently involved organ with a broad spectrum of reaction types. The diagnosis of cutaneous DHRs (CDHR) may be difficult because of multiple differential diagnoses. A correct classification is important for the correct diagnosis and management. With these guidelines, we aim to give precise definitions and provide the background needed for doctors to correctly classify CDHR.

La biopsia cutánea en la urticaria crónica: cuándo realizarla, qué buscar y dónde hacerlo

La biopsia cutánea en la urticaria crónica: cuándo realizarla, qué buscar y dónde hacerlo Autores: A. López Mateos, M.J. Sánchez Pujol y J.F. Silvestre Salvador Resumen: La urticaria crónica es una entidad relativamente frecuente en la práctica clínica habitual, cuyo diagnóstico se establece de forma clínica. Sin embargo, existen ocasiones en las que está indicada la realización de una biopsia cutánea para confirmar el diagnóstico y diferenciarla de otras patologías que pueden cursar con erupciones urticariformes. En este trabajo revisamos los hallazgos histopatológicos que podemos encontrar tanto en la urticaria crónica como en las patologías que plantean un diagnóstico diferencial. Con base en ello, proponemos un algoritmo que recoge las indicaciones para realizar una biopsia cutánea y la orientación del diagnóstico en función de los hallazgos histopatológicos que encontremos en la misma.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Mastocytosis: Initial Treatment Options and Long-Term Management. Authors: Castells M1, Butterfield J2. 1 Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology, Brigham and Women's Hospital Mastocytosis Center, Boston, Mass. Electronic address: mcastells@bwh.harvard.edu. 2 Mayo Clinic Program for Mast Cell and Eosinophil Disorders, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Abstract: Patients with clonal mast cell activation syndromes (MCAS) including cutaneous and systemic mastocytosis (SM) may present with symptoms of mast cell activation, but in addition can have organ damage from the local effects of tissue infiltration by clonal mast cells. Patients with nonclonal MCAS may have chronic or episodic mast cell activation symptoms with an increase in serum tryptase and/or urinary metabolites of histamine, prostaglandin D2, and leukotrienes. Symptoms of MCAS and SM can be managed by blockade of mediator receptors (H1 and H2 antihistamines, leukotriene r...

Skin bacterial transplant in atopic dermatitis: Knowns, unknowns and emerging trends. Authors:  Hendricks AJ1, Mills BW2, Shi VY3. 1 University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, AZ USA. 2 Texas Tech Health Sciences Center El Paso Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, El Paso, TX USA. 3 University of Arizona Department of Medicine, Division of Dermatology, Tucson, AZ USA. Electronic address: vshi@email.arizona.edu. Abstract: Dysbiosis is a key pathogenic factor in the cycle of  skin  barrier impairment and inflammation in  atopic   dermatitis  (AD).  Skin  microbial composition in AD is characterized by increased presence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and decrease in microbial diversity and commensal  bacterial  species. Attenuation of S. aureus-driven inflammation aids in breaking the itch-scratch cycle via modulation of the cutaneous immune response.  Skin   bacterial   transplant  (SBT), a f...
